Not true. Beagle simply used a feature that was broken in reiser, perhaps because nobody before had used it. And guess what? Finally they found what was wrong in the kernel and corrected it. Nothing was broken on beagle. It is a confirmed reiserfs implementation bug.
Ok, I stand corrected. But, IF beagle wasn't forced as a default install, then that problem wouldn't have been such a problem.
No, it would just be a bug lurking and waiting to bomb out when you least expect it. It is just a question of time. Another obscure app would use that feature and bomb the filesystem, and it would take longer to find out because almost nobody would be using that app.
Like I just replied to Randall, Beagle wasn't ready to be in a released version of SuSE.
We are talking of 11.1, beagle is a mature app by now. Teenager if you like. And I like and use it. You don't? Then uninstall it.
For instance, I have external media (USB) formatted as reiserfs, and it gets corrupted every time I write to it from 11.0. So badly corrupted that it takes several hours to fsck and repair. It was fine under 10.3, and seems to work under 11.1.
I haven't noticed any issues like that, but I generally have my external media in FAT32/NTFS in order to use it with WinDoZe. Since USB is slow anyway, I've never been worried about using a faster fs on it.
I'm not talking of small flash devices used to share with windows, I'm talking of big disks used for Linux backup, with Linux filesystem attributes that FAT can not save. And that's not the point, the point is that reiserfs, today, is buggy. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
